What Drivers Are Influencing The Refurbished Laboratory Equipment Market?
The growth of academic research institutions is projected to drive the expansion of the refurbished laboratory equipment market moving forward. Academic research institutions encompass universities, colleges, and dedicated research organizations focused on systematic studies, experiments, and investigations to advance knowledge. The expansion of these institutions is fueled by increased government and private funding, which aids in establishing new centers, attracting talent, and enabling advanced scientific research. Refurbished laboratory equipment offers academic research institutions an economical way to acquire advanced tools for conducting quality experiments and practical training, while also contributing to sustainability by prolonging the equipment’s operational life. For instance, in November 2024, the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, a US-based government organization, reported that research and development (R&D) spending by academic institutions saw an 11.2% rise in fiscal year 2023, marking the highest growth rate in current dollar terms. Total academic R&D expenditures reached $108.8 billion, representing an increase of $11.0 billion compared to fiscal year 2022. Therefore, the increasing growth of academic research institutions is propelling the refurbished laboratory equipment market.
